Does not track added sugars – Smart sugar Review

I’ve been looking for an app that just tracks a few nutrients that I’m interested in (added sugars and fiber, specifically). I’d even be willing to enter the actual amounts rather than a list of foods. I was pretty disappointed by this app. My main disappointment is that it does not track added sugars. This seems dangerous to me, since treating added and natural sugars the same steers users away from healthy choices such as milk and whole fruit. I was also frustrated by the limited food database. The non-customized food and drinks are mostly behind a paywall. Even after paying, there is no way to use bar codes or brand names to find the most accurate information; a popsicle can have between 0 and 17 grams of sugar, but the only way to specify is by changing the size in ounces. Worse, you have to pay to create custom foods, and the creation process is annoying. The name space is quite short; good luck getting “Chocolate Covered Banana” in there, much less “Dole Dark Chocolate-Covered Frozen Banana Slices”. The units are only in ounces/grams, rather than the easier-to-calculate per piece, per bar, per square, per 14 chips. I also was unable to find a way to edit or replace a custom food that had a typo or inaccurate information. I think this app should either have a better food database or greatly improve the Custom Food option.
